more Promote the development of children and young people

This standard identifies the requirements when promoting the holistic development of children and young people; including their physical, emotional, social, linguistic, communication and cognitive development. You are required to observe and assess the developmental needs of children and young people in all aspects of their development, including physical, emotional, social, and linguistic and communication. You are required to reflect your observation and assessment findings and identify how they will impact on your practice. You will then be expected to work with children and young people and others to plan, implement and evaluate activities and experiences to promote their development.
